How should we be reacting to the recent unrest in Baltimore and Ferguson? Topics in this video: causes versus excuses, proscriptive narratives, media bias, white privilege, racism, poverty, education, the greater good, peaceful protest, social change, radicals, moderates, gangs, helplessness, black culture, police, school programs, and conservative economic policies.
(This was a one hour unscripted conversation that was edited down to bring you the most interesting parts.)
What do you think? Is violent protest sometimes justified, or never justified? Or is that the wrong question to ask?
Why do you think they keep happening in places like Ferguson and Baltimore, and what needs to be done to stop violent political uprisings and protests from happening in the future?
Let us know your thoughts!
If you have any questions or comments, or any suggestions for topics we can talk about in the future, let us know in the comments!
